This is the season...

[Phil from the upper holte]

We all knew it was coming I think we just didn't think it would be this bad

[ldavfc4eva]

Should have had him as a director of football or similar years ago, same as houllier perhaps.

Have always thought we have let experience leave the club, even at a player level when Alan wright/Ian Taylor etc were allowed to leave, IF said player wanted to stay and get there coaching badges that is then keep them, not saying we owe them all a living but it must help nurture younger players iF a few ex long term players stay to help guide them, similar to Sid cowans and petrov now.

[Toronto Villa]

Assume that is also home points in the PL which is even more shit as in 2015 we have played more games at home than the promoted sides.

[Leicester_Villian]

Its happened several times before that a team has gone straight from Prem to Division One in successive seasons

Is this team good enough to survive in the Championship?

Afraid I am starting to have my doubts

As a 56 year old this is now the must selected I have ever been as a Villa fan ....great seat in Trinity Middle will be available next season

[saunders_heroes]

Christ let's worry about this season before contemplating the next.
My stress levels can't cope.

[Ajdainty89]

I don't believe were that bad to drop twice.
However I don't think we will bounce straight back.
I hoping for play offs, and praying we do prove me wrong!




I should probably point out they've proved me wrong for nearly 19 games now!

It will be interesting to see how the club market next season's season tickets.

[pav]

Well they will have to do something , our three wouldn't be to bothered if we lost our season tickets ... It's painful

When is it likely to be mathematically confirmed given that we're unlikely to get to 20 points? My guess is mid-march. Can anyone remember when mackems and derby were confirmed?

Bright new dawn. Something moronic. They should be branded as half price and a fucking apology.

What do you expect them to say ‘Don’t bother turning up cos its sh*t’? It will be a case of platitudes and marketing speak, but it’s their job to ensure that our drop out of the Premier League does not lead to a catastrophic drop in revenue, so don’t expect a half price season ticket either.

With the current arrangement I can't be as confident.  Villa need a chairman who can help provide a strategy and direction. 

At least Gestede will hopefully come into his own in the championship - provided he has the service.

Do fans need to marketed to? Surely you can't be persuaded to became a fan, you either are or you aren't and I don't believe any of us will be persuaded to go to games based on an advertising campaign.
